Apis Mead & Winery

Dave Cerminara, owner, CEO, brewer of Apis Mead & Winery, explains to Ed and Day why he chooses to make mead, also known as honey wine: because as a professional beer brewer, he loves a challenge. Made with locally sourced wildflower and clover honey from Bedellion Honey Farm, the guys’ biggest challenge seems to be choosing their favorite. After trying Abstract Elephant and Raspberry Cheesecake, they capped off the day with Port Barrel Aged Plum wine in a collaboration with New Image Brewing out of Colorado.

Keeping it local: Bedillion Honey Farm aka “The Best Little Honey Shop in Pennsylvania,” is located just south of Carnegie.
